M-EOS Migration Path to Fabric OS

In this appendix

M-EOS fabrics overview

This appendix covers how to set up your Fabric OS SAN and M-EOS SAN to route traffic without
merging the two SANs. If you want to merge the SANs or use SANtegrity, refer to
"Interoperability for Merged SANs,"
The FC router interoperates with M-EOS fabrics in both McDATA Open Mode and McDATA Fabric
Mode. Fabric OS provides the ability to configure any EX_Port to connect to an M-EOS fabric by
using an E_Port without disrupting the existing services. All the EX_Port functionality, such as fabric
isolation and device sharing, remains the same as when connecting to an existing Fabric OS fabric.
NOTE
M-EOS fabrics are supported only as edge fabrics and are not supported as backbone fabrics.
Fabric OS interoperates with M-EOS edge fabrics in McDATA Fabric Mode and Open Mode and
supports backbone-to-edge and edge-to-edge routing.
Fabric OS are compatible with which releases of M-EOS.
